[lace] Lace Magazines

I had wondered what had happened to The Lace Guild's letters page, and when I asked, I had the response that there hadn't been any letters sent in, and those that were had been passed on to the relevant people for response! Emails tend to be answered straight away, or forwarded to the relevant
